Again I am surprised that this CLASSIC John Rocca record has not been listed yet. In it's day, "I Want It To Be Real" was a monster record, the first of many FREESTYLE artists venture into mainstream.

A great introduction allowed for many great entry mixes, The many breaks throughout this record allowed for creative deejays to perform magic. Remixes were standard when it came to I WANT IT TO BE REAL. A definite PRIME TIME PLAYER that had longevity for almost a full year. the strong vocals and catchy chorus hypnotized the dancers, making it impossible to leave the floor. even the TOP 40 radio stations jumped on this record. On my scale from 1-10. it gets a well deserved 10!
